Matthew pointed out that the ioctx_table is susceptible to spectre v1,
because the index can be controlled by an attacker.  The below patch
should mitigate the attack for all of the aio system calls.

<title>y2038: globally rename compat_time to old_time32</title>

<id>9afc5eee65ca7d717a99d6fe8f4adfe32a40940a</id>
<content type='text'>
Christoph Hellwig suggested a slightly different path for handling
backwards compatibility with the 32-bit time_t based system calls:

Rather than simply reusing the compat_sys_* entry points on 32-bit
architectures unchanged, we get rid of those entry points and the
compat_time types by renaming them to something that makes more sense
on 32-bit architectures (which don't have a compat mode otherwise),
and then share the entry points under the new name with the 64-bit
architectures that use them for implementing the compatibility.

The following types and interfaces are renamed here, and moved
from linux/compat_time.h to linux/time32.h:

old				new
---				---
compat_time_t			old_time32_t
struct compat_timeval		struct old_timeval32
struct compat_timespec		struct old_timespec32
struct compat_itimerspec	struct old_itimerspec32
ns_to_compat_timeval()		ns_to_old_timeval32()
get_compat_itimerspec64()	get_old_itimerspec32()
put_compat_itimerspec64()	put_old_itimerspec32()
compat_get_timespec64()		get_old_timespec32()
compat_put_timespec64()		put_old_timespec32()

As we already have aliases in place, this patch addresses only the
instances that are relevant to the system call interface in particular,
not those that occur in device drivers and other modules. Those
will get handled separately, while providing the 64-bit version
of the respective interfaces.

I'm not renaming the timex, rusage and itimerval structures, as we are
still debating what the new interface will look like, and whether we
will need a replacement at all.

This also doesn't change the names of the syscall entry points, which can
be done more easily when we actually switch over the 32-bit architectures
to use them, at that point we need to change COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx with a new name, e.g. with a _time32 suffix.

 - int *opened mess killed - in finish_open(), in -&gt;atomic_open()
   instances and in fs/namei.c code around do_last()/lookup_open()/atomic_open().

 - alloc_file() wrappers with saner calling conventions are introduced
   (alloc_file_clone() and alloc_file_pseudo()); callers converted, with
   much simplification.

 - while we are at it, saner calling conventions for path_init() and
   link_path_walk(), simplifying things inside fs/namei.c (both on
   open-related paths and elsewhere).

If we get a keyed wakeup for a aio poll waitqueue and wake can acquire the
ctx_lock without spinning we can just complete the iocb straight from the
wakeup callback to avoid a context switch.

Simple one-shot poll through the io_submit() interface.  To poll for
a file descriptor the application should submit an iocb of type
IOCB_CMD_POLL.  It will poll the fd for the events specified in the
the first 32 bits of the aio_buf field of the iocb.

Unlike poll or epoll without EPOLLONESHOT this interface always works
in one shot mode, that is once the iocb is completed, it will have to be
resubmitted.

This is needed to prevent races caused by the way the -&gt;poll API works.
To avoid introducing overhead for other users of the iocbs we initialize
it to zero and only do refcount operations if it is non-zero in the
completion path.
